History

This car is probably one that has the most race participation with very active drivers such as Ken Ahr and Clement Boehler. Basically from 1953 to 1960 the car was raced every year (except maybe in 1956). The car continues this tradition with its current owner who took it through a very full restoration, crashed it (sic!) and restored it again. The car is now participating in a lot of regional event around Germany.
